New forums and the release

Greetings Daevas,
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve had a busy week with the launch of our new forums and the release of the first article in the “Ask Kinslon” 1.9 interview series. If you haven’t already had the chance, check out our new forums, and tell us what you think. Now it’s time for our weekly question from the community!

Question of the Week

Deshy from Telemachus asks:

''Why was the option to post comments on our character profile/Aion live status removed, and will it come back in some way?”

We’ve temporarily disabled our comment system to protect our users from a new initiative from RMT organizations. These companies have begun spamming our players’ comments with advertisements and phishing links. Unfortunately, we currently have no effective way to combat this annoying behavior. Rather than let it get out of control, we turned off the comment feature before the spamming and phishing in character comments became a larger issue.

We’re hard at work implementing better tools to enhance this feature of our website. We plan to bring comments back online as soon as those tools have been completed. Although we understand that you enjoyed leaving your friends comments, we take your safety seriously, and our actions are a testament to that.
